Jeep 2011 Liberty - Manual (Page 69)

• Occupant Classification Module (OCM)
The OCM is located beneath the front passenger seat. The
OCM classifies the occupant into categories based on the
measurements made by the seat weight sensors. The
OCM communicates with the ORC. The ORC uses the
occupant category to determine whether the passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag should be turned off. It also
determines the rate of air bag inflation during a collision.
• Weight Sensors
Your vehicle has four Weight Sensors located between the
seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure
applied weight and transfers that information to the
OCM.
• Passenger Air Bag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light
The PAD Indicator Light (an amber light located in the
center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front
passenger when the passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is
turned off. The PAD Indicator light illuminates the words
“PASS AIR BAG OFF” to show that the passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will not inflate during a collision
requiring air bag deployment. When the right front
passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are
placed on the seat, the passenger air bag will not inflate
even though the PAD indicator light is not illuminated.
